I had a great experience dealing with Walt, he had quick communication - prompt and safe shipping (package was very nicely sent) and great follow-up. The scope I purchased was exactly as described. Thanks Walt!
I recently purchased a used rifle from Walter Koshynsky that was listed as being in very good condition. The item description said and I quote “ the wood is in excellent condition and shows no cracks or breaks” however when I received the rifle the stock was clearly repaired from a split from the mag well all the way down the forend.
The add also said the rifle was “ re blued “ but the rifle had been sand blasted and then spray painted black very recently.
The tube magazine was so loose it almost fell off of the rifle and was clearly like that before shipping as there is fresh spray paint behind the point where it should have been permanently attached to the barrel.
I immediately messaged Walter to let him know of the issues and this is the reply I got
“I am sorry to learn about your dissatisfaction. I availed myself of the opportunity to refinish the stock using a hand-rubbed Danish oil finish, diligently applying four coats to ensure optimal quality, and reblued the barrel. I meticulously applied gun oil by hand to every inch of the firearm, ensuring optimal protection and performance. During my inspection, I did not notice any cracks or sand residue.I assessed and confirmed that the firearm was in good condition and functioning well, as expected for an item of its age. It is important to note that this rifle is over 80 years old and should not be considered a new firearm.”
If he had meticulously applied gun oil by hand to every inch of the rifle and inspected it he would had to have known it was spray painted and not blued and also seen the rust pitting and tube magazine ready to fall off. parts of the action are held together by shiny new finishing nails instead of the original pins. Another sign he knew his add was intentionally misleading.
I sent him pictures of the rifle which he took 4 days to respond to asking me to re send them so I did and now I’ve heard nothing since.
Very disappointing to say the least.
If you would like to see pictures of the poor quality of the rifle you can look at my adds as I will have it posted ontill he decides to issue a full refund.
I'm really happy that I did business with Walt. Great price, fast responses and shipped in less than a business day. Would gladly purchase again for him.
Well I was not happy with my hawken rifle but the seller did reach out after I messaged about the rust and stuff it's all good now he is a good seller would buy again from him
Walter is a great fellow to do business with. Prompt, honest, efficient, fair. A 5-star plus GunPost member. No reservations at all to do business again with him.
